2020 Nissan Murano SV

The 2020 Murano is Nissan's mid-size two-row crossover, slotting between the Rogue and the Pathfinder with a focus on comfort and style. It competes with the Ford Edge, Honda Passport, and Chevrolet Blazer, all offering similar space and a more car-like driving feel. The V6 provides smooth, eager acceleration, and the ride is quiet and composed, though the CVT can drone under hard throttle. Inside, the Murano offers plush zero-gravity seats, a roomy cabin, and a handsomely styled dashboard with available dual-pane moonroof. Reliability is generally good, but some owners have reported sunroof leaks and occasional electronic glitches. The SV is the entry-level Murano, sitting below the SL and Platinum trims but still getting the same V6 and a generous list of standard safety tech. Its 3.5L V6 makes 260 horsepower and pairs with a CVT and all-wheel drive, delivering smooth power and 23 mpg combined. The SV skips the leather upholstery and moonroof of higher trims, but its cloth seats are still the same comfortable zero-gravity design.
